Healthcare Industry Reporter and Storyteller

Company Description

Today, when you go to your doctor and get referred to a specialist (e.g., for sleep apnea), your doctor sends out a referral and tells you, “They’ll be in touch soon.” So you wait. And wait. Sometimes days, weeks, or even months. Why? Because too often specialists and medical services are overwhelmed with referrals and the painstakingly manual process it takes to qualify your referral prevents them from getting around to it on time, or sometimes at all. Tennr prevents these delays and denials by making sure every referral gets where it needs to go, with the right info, at the right time. Powered by RaeLM™ Tennr reads, extracts, and acts on every piece of patient information so providers can capture more referrals, slash denials, and reduce delays.

Role Description

One of the ways Tennr’s marketing team connects with and helps create value for our various audiences is by providing them with novel, useful information and analysis. We’re looking for a new member of the team to take on this responsibility fully.

Because each audience segment is unique and nuanced, and because the situation facing each audience segment is rapidly changing, we need someone who can treat these situations with journalistic curiosity. You’ll spend a lot of your time talking to members of the healthcare industry, including but by no means limited to Tennr’s customers and prospects, to find out what today’s important stories are. You will be responsible for researching, understanding, and distilling the relevant information necessary to tell those stories. And finally, you will enjoy complete ownership over the ways in which we package and deliver those stories for our audiences.

This is technically content marketing, but its goal is entirely limited to creating value for our audience members—none of our content “sells.” It’s more like a reporting job with a focus on feature writing that just happens to be at a SaaS company. You'll have support for design, distribution, and web development, but you'll own both the substance of your stories and the results. We’re in it for the long game, but we also move extremely fast, so we’re looking for someone who can hustle and keep up.
